Negative index media in microwave waveguide

Microwave waveguide measurements of negative index media (NIM) are reported. Accurate determination of the frequency variation of the complex scattering parameters yields the refractive index ñ =n' + in'' for the NIM with n' varying between -3.9 to -0.3 in the passband region of 9.7-10.5 GHz. The results show that transmission is optimized for n' = approx. -1 and small n".
